Hello Mary,

Just came back to read some of the of the posts here.  What an awesome honor, you have achieved.  So many great friends and glowing posts.  I bet your fingers are tired and sore from all the replies.  But, I also know you will never complain as this is a labor of love for you.

I noticed many of the "Old Guard" returning to honor one of their own as well.  You should be proud that you garner such loyalty. 

We all have busier lives this time of year, and is so nice to see so many take the few minutes to stop in and share in your glory.

I believe the following describes you and many of us here;
